How many points if you regularly baffle PC users by pronouncing *.* as "at dot
at?"

And how many for having one of the old COBOL 3000 training courses, complete
with cassette tapes and the little "cardboard suitcase" in which they came?  Or
an MPE/V Operators' training course with the reel-to-reel tape that was loaded
on the 3000?
